Rhinestone trimmings

Okay so I got some rhinestone trimmings from ebay and also from b&q in manhaattan just to compare and I really like what I got from b&q so much better. The trimmings from ebay is very stiff probably okay for a bouquet but I wanted mines for around my candles and the base of my cake stand. So I need it to be a little more plyable, also the one from b&q is more sparkly.

Just an fyi.
